Overview

Financial mismanagement can ruin an organisation, result in fines and obliterate trust. Good financial management is essential for ensuring that legal requirements are met in relation to charity and company law. However, it is not the sole responsibility of the treasurer; ALL committee members/trustees are accountable.

Whatever the size of your organisation, sound financial management is essential for development and sustainability. Rather than the finance being seen as a separate function that involves just doing the book-keeping, it should be integrated within, and add value to your organisations fundraising and overall activities.

This organisational finance for voluntary and community groups course is aimed at potential or current committee members or trustees within the voluntary and community sector. The skills and understanding developed will help you to understand why transparent financial management is beneficial to the organisation and wider community

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
